The NBA officially warned Rockets center Omer Asik for violating its anti-flopping policy on Tuesday.
Asik’s flop occurred early in the third quarter of a 134-126 home loss to the Spurs at the Toyota Center on Monday. Asik battled for rebounding position with Spurs center Tim Duncan. Duncan was basket-side and was about to secure the ball when Asik, reaching over and past him, quickly fell backwards as if he had been elbowed in the head.
